From the album: Natural History of Roshar
When I first read the description for this area, I immediately imagined they're some kind of alpine version of the deep sea hydrothermal vents - aka the white or black chimneys. I love those bizarre deep sea things, and have been trying to envision how would those hydrothermal vents look like when combined with the Alps. It's really tricky, and the vertical aspect of those vents makes it really hard to see where the Horneaters would put any sort of city or crops fields on. As I keep researching, I eventually came across alpine hot lakes in the Andes mountains, and decided to change direction and go with something like an extinct conical volcano chain that has turned into lakes. The imagery would be more familiar, and the slopes would mean imaginable cities and civilization such as the Machu Picchu. I decided to try and do the phototexture workflow in pursuit of that Skyrim look. It's not there yet, but can't expect mastery after 1 week!

What a naturalist on their down time might drink to relax and eat their meal at inns. ... About the designs: The Horneater ones got strong Japanese influence because the first thing that popped in my mind's eyes upon hearing the word "Horneater White", was Shirakabe Gura. Because of the word "white".

Audiobook fans: Thoughts on Narration Impacting the Story
Koloss replied to Tien'sPetLurg's topic in General Discussion
(4 year old necro!) I... I like Pattern's voice acting.... I thought his weird speech pattern adds to his character, which I wouldn't have came up with in my head from reading the text.- 15 replies

This is my first impression of chull when I listened to the audiobook which came with no illustrations. I imagined them as short, stout, camel-like giant crayfish with spaced-out expressions. If not chulls, this could be some other cremlings inhabiting the wide plains, nibbling on little moss that has sprung to life after a high storm.- 4 comments

One of the many alien looking shell creatures on Roshar. It looks like a cooked lobster.- 2 comments

Sketches of berries on Roshar. Berries are usually soft and juicy and easily bruised and broken. On windy Roshar, they are protected by hard casings, which often opens and closes on environmental cues to avoid wasting the fruit to high storms. Except strawberries in Shinovar. They look just the same... or lightly different, who knows! Maybe cut it open and the inside is still red anyway! -

Like the Dog from Divinity game perhaps?

Sketches of common coastal skyeel with possible variations of head shapes. They might be the equivalent of something like a skua or gull, and whatever preys upon them would be Roshar's equivalent of sea eagle. Maybe there's even a smaller variant of skyeel that is the equivalent of tern birds. -

Hoid asked about what the dried version would look like after I sketched a live one, so here it is! -

Most poisonous plant in all of Roshar. A de-stressing sketch since this subject stays very, very still for the entire session. -

Early exploratory sketches of what thunderclasts might've looked like from descriptions. -
I exist and am so excited for Oathbringer!

Hey Hux! I recently discovered Sanderson's work too! Nice to meet you!
